In Moon Bay was faced with the British, and when they arrived in Djibouti they were replaced by Ethiopians. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Lan Fang and France exchanged for Djibouti, Djibouti and Little Aden on the other side of the Red Sea became part of the Western Province, and when Qin Zhiyuan arrived in Djibouti, Chen Kangjian greeted Qin Zhiyuan in Djibouti in accordance with the regulations.

When Chen Kangjian took over Djibouti, the population of Djibouti was only about 5,000 people, and this was because the population had increased a lot after the French built the railway between Djibouti and Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

The area of Djibouti is only 23,000 square kilometers, although the area is not large, but the terrain is complex, most of the territory is volcanic rock material plateau mountain, the coast is mostly plains and plateaus, and the interior is dominated by plateaus and mountains. Most of Djibouti, including the coastal areas, has a tropical desert climate, while the interior has a climate similar to that of the savannah, with very hot and little rain throughout the year, and almost no rain in the interior.

It is no wonder that the French would abandon this place without hesitation, that is, Lan Fang, and only held a place as a treasure under the threat of the British.

Of course, Djibouti is not the same as before, after Lanfang took over Djibouti, more than 20,000 Lanfang people moved from Lanfang itself, and then moved nearly 20,000 members of the "Qin Army".

Djibouti itself also has the conditions for building a military base, with a width of 56 kilometers, a length of 80 kilometers, and the deepest point of 1,082 meters, Tajoura Bay is wedge-shaped in the Gulf of Aden and penetrates into the interior of Djibouti, dividing Djibouti into two different parts: north and south. The north of Tajoura Bay is mostly a mountain range, and the terrain is complex, and most of the south is a plateau with an average altitude of 500 to 800 meters.

Chen Kangjian's construction is carried out around Tachura Bay.

It's different here from Moon Bay, you don't have to worry too much about the environment or anything, how convenient it is.

"We are currently quarrying the rocks in the mountains and then transporting them by rail to Tajoura Bay, and I am going to build a 10-kilometer-long anti-pody in Tajoura Bay, so that the anti-Poti can dock battleships and aircraft carriers directly, and it is also convenient for merchant ships to and fro." Chen Kangjian is really generous, talking about the sand table in the governor's palace.

"Ten kilometers - have you considered the cost?" Qin Zhiyuan has a toothache, and the construction of military bases is also part of military spending, which is all paid for by Qin Zhiyuan.

In fact, the funds in Qin Zhiyuan's hands are not tight, and they can even be called rich, the old Renault's treasury bond business is doing well, and Qin Zhiyuan is ready to add it again.

"It doesn't cost much-" Chen Kangjian looked confused, and had no concept of the cost: "The stone quarrying is made of explosives, and we have a lot of them in the warehouse, and if we don't use them, they will expire, and the stones are everywhere, anyway, no one asks me to charge for it, this place where birds don't, and no one asks if it's environmentally friendly or not, so blow up the mountain and throw the stones into Tachura Bay, just build a base on the mountain, it's a very good plan——"

It sounds really good, it is estimated that someone is behind Chen Kangjian's back, otherwise Chen Kangjian will not be able to think of this idea.

"What about people? Labor doesn't want money? Qin Zhiyuan thinks a lot, and labor cost is the biggest cost.

"Hehe, there is really not much labor, we don't have a railway to Addis Ababa here, I hired some people from Ethiopia, the labor over there is very cheap, as long as you are full, although the black buddy is a little lazy, he still works to work." Chen Kangjian already has a plan.

"Hired?" Qin Zhiyuan didn't believe it.

Ethiopia is a resilient country, and before World War I, only Ethiopia and Liberia were independent countries in the whole of Africa, and the rest were colonies of European countries.

Liberia was able to become independent because of the support of the Americans, and the Americans needed a piece of land to settle those independent blacks after the Civil War, so there was Liberia, and Ethiopia was able to become independent entirely because of the strength of the Ethiopians.

As early as the 16th century, the Portuguese and the Ottoman Empire invaded Ethiopia, but because of the resistance of the Ethiopians, the Portuguese and the Ottoman Empire did not succeed, and in the middle of the last century, the British and Sudanese invaded Ethiopia successively, and then failed one after another, and at the end of the last century, the Italians did not believe in evil, and declared Ethiopia a "protectorate" of the Italians, but unfortunately this "protectorate" only existed for about five or six years, and then the Italians were forced to recognize the independence of Ethiopia.

It is hard for such a country to believe that its citizens are only required to be hired.

"Really, it's hired!" Chen Kangjian's tone is strict, and he almost doesn't swear by the sky.

"Okay, as long as you don't ask me for money." Qin Zhiyuan didn't pursue it, just hire it.

Qin Zhiyuan still remembers that there are many pictures circulating on the Internet in the 21st century, all of which are about the tragic situation of black Africans, many African children and women were cut off by Western colonizers with arms or feet, or hands and feet were cut off, those are the families of black slave laborers, as long as those slave workers do not complete their tasks, their families will be brutally punished by Western colonizers.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan did not allow this kind of thing to happen, so Qin Zhiyuan emphasized to Chen Kangjian: "I don't care where you got the people from or how you got them, after you get them, you must treat them according to the standards for treating workers, you can't deliberately abuse them, at least let people eat enough, and let people earn some money, otherwise you should be careful for me, even if I don't trouble you, Zixin can't say anything about it." ”

Qin Zhiyuan still has a bottom line, and he will definitely not abuse blacks like Western colonizers.

"No problem, Your Majesty, please rest assured, in three years at most, I will return you a well-equipped military port, and the political conditions are definitely no less than Cam Ranh Bay." Chen Kangjian swears that he is still confident.

In the evening, Qin Zhiyuan got Gao Hongshi's report: "Wu Dinggong is from Yemen, and some of them are from Somalia and Ethiopia, both of which have slave hunting teams, organized by the British and Italians, and basically a person can buy it for only about 100 yuan." ”

One hundred yuan, this is the price of a human life at this time.

"It's really hot in this hellish place, if we turn this place into a military base in the future, the soldiers stationed here will suffer-" Qin Zhiyuan didn't put his mind on the slave hunting team, and the hot weather made Qin Zhiyuan unable to concentrate on thinking.

Djibouti is a tropical desert climate, from April to October every year is summer, the average temperature is 37 degrees, the maximum temperature can be above 45 degrees, the temperature difference between day and night is still a bit large, and at night, the temperature will drop sharply, and the temperature at night will sometimes be as low as zero.

"If it's a good place, the French won't give it to us." Gao Hongshi has no good impression of the French now, since the "helicopter incident", Gao Hongshi has a little opinion on the French government: "It's not all like this, a little further south is Ethiopia, where the geographical environment is still good." ”

In fact, Africa is not all large deserts in the general sense, that is, it is only desolate in North Africa, and the vegetation is much more vigorous in Central Africa, especially Cameroon, Congo, and Gabon, which is a standard tropical rainforest climate and savannah climate, and the environment is much stronger than Djibouti.

"Ethiopia - forget it." Qin Zhiyuan understood what Gao Hongshi meant, but he didn't have too many ideas.

In fact, the fact that Britain and Italy could not occupy Ethiopia did not mean that Lanfang could not occupy Ethiopia.

The British and Italians invaded Ethiopia in order to enslave the Ethiopian people and get plantations, mines and other things to better serve capitalism, so the British and Italians had reservations about attacking Ethiopia. Lan Fang is not like this, Lan Fang has always been as long as the land does not need people, backed by the Republic of China, Lan Fang has enough manpower, all he needs is living space, so if Qin Zhiyuan wants to, it is still possible to conquer Ethiopia.

Of course, if you want to attack Ethiopia, you will also have to face many difficulties, Ethiopia is dominated by mountainous plateaus, most of which belong to the Ethiopian plateau, the central and western regions are the main part of the plateau, accounting for two-thirds of the whole territory, and the Great Rift Valley runs through the whole territory, with an average altitude of nearly 3,000 meters, known as the "roof of Africa".

It can be said that the British and Italians are placed at this average altitude, if Lan Fang wants to attack Ethiopia, then Lan Fang's soldiers must first overcome serious "altitude sickness", otherwise they can only fail to attack Ethiopia.

The impact of altitude sickness on people is still very great, headache, dizziness, shortness of breath and chest tightness are all light, severe will be dyspnea, trance, once strenuous activities, the symptoms will be further aggravated, so the reason why Ethiopia can become independent, not so much due to the strong resistance of the Ethiopians, but thanks to the terrain of Ethiopia, the "roof of Africa" is not given in vain.

"You can try it with Lao Yang, it's much less difficult to go over from Sudan." Gao Hongshi is still unwilling, this is equivalent to meat sent to his mouth, and it is really uncomfortable not to eat it.

"Both the British and the Ottomans attacked from Sudan, and it was the same from which direction they attacked Ethiopia, and altitude sickness was a problem that had to be faced." Qin Zhiyuan disagreed, mainly because the gains outweighed the losses.

Ethiopia shares a border with Sudan, which is now part of Egypt, and that is the territory of the Jan De Mountains.
